Wes Anderson is one of the most influential voices from the past two decades of American cinema. A true auteur, Anderson is known for the visual artistry, inimitable tone, and idiosyncratic characterizations that make each of his films- \'Bottle Rocket\', \'Rushmore\', \'The Royal Tenenbaums\', \'The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou\', \'The Darjeeling Limited\', \'Fantastic Mr. Fox\', and \'Moonrise Kingdom\'- instantly recognizable as Andersonian. \'The Wes Anderson Collection\' is the first in-depth overview of Anderson\'s filmography, guiding readers through his life and career. Previously unpublished photos, artwork, and ephemera complement a book-length conversation between Anderson and award-winning critic Matt Zoller Seitz. The interview and images are woven together in a meticulously designed book that captures the spirit of his films: melancholy and playful, wise and childish - and thoroughly original.
